The tafsir of Surah Qamar verse 29 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qamar ayat 23 which provides the complete commentary from verse 23 through 32.
(54:29) Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel.[20]
20. These words by themselves indicate that the she-camel roamed at will in their settlements for a long period of time. No one could dare approach a source of water on the day of her turn. At last, they called out to a haughty chief of theirs who was well known for his courage and boldness, and urged him to put an end to her. Emboldened by the false encouragement, he took up the responsibility and killed the she-camel. This clearly means that the people were very frightened. They felt that she had extraordinary power, and so they dared not touch her with an evil intention. That is why the killing of a mere she-camel especially when the Prophet who had presented her, did not possess any army that could be a deterrent for them, amounted to undertaking a dangerous and difficult task. For further details. see (Surah Al-Aaraf, ayat 73) note 58 and (Surah Ash-Shuara, ayat 155-157) note 104-105.
[1585]- i.e., the worst and most despicable among them. [1586]- Or "he took," referring to his sword or to the she-camel.
